Bug Description
Currently users are unable to use 4-byte unicode characters for operations, such as creating a volume or volume_type. This is because currently our DB's character set is set to utf8, which does not support characters larger than 3 bytes. This is a known issue, as there are other bugs addressing this, as listed below.

However the solutions proposed to these bugs are preventing the user from hitting this issue. A way to allow the users to use 4-byte unicode characters would be to update the DB to use utf8mb4 instead of utf8.
